Sweden

Several new laws have given the Swedish police the opportunity to use covert surveillance under the pretext of preventing serious crimes. However, such coercive measures can only be implemented when there is a marked need, and the measures are proportional to the resulting violation of integrity. Another development that troubles us is the increased legislation that aims to combat ”terrorism”, which has not been offset with increased protection of human rights.
